1 DIRECTIONS PLAN OF STUDY FORM Catalog Year Environmental Sciences This Plan of Study (plan) is used as a worksheet during initial registration and every subsequent semester to determine minimum requirements and progress toward completing the degree. A preliminary plan is developed and submitted to the advisor by the end of the sophomore year (or equivalent time for transfer students). A final plan must be approved by advisor and department head, and submitted to the Degree Auditor (Unit 4077, Wilbur Cross Building) no later than the end of the tenth week of classes of the semester prior to the anticipated semester of graduation. Students must complete all major and general education course requirements and earn: At least 120 credits toward the degree At least a 2.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) At least a 2.0 Grade Point Average for ALL courses listed in the 36 Credit Requirement University of Connecticut General Education Requirements (GER), are outlined in the Academic Regulations section of the Undergraduate Catalog. Only approved courses may be used to meet requirements. Students should use their Academic Requirements Report (accessible in Student Admin) along with the Plan of Study to view their graduation requirements and assess status toward degree. Students must be attentive to credit restrictions (repeated courses, out of sequence classes, etc.). Courses taken Pass/Fail may NOT be used to meet any requirements. STUDENT AND DEGREE INFORMATION Must be filled out completely on your final plan of study. Select one: Preliminary Plan Final Plan Name Phone # First Middle Last Address Student I.D.
